I had this problem today. All I did was rename the steamui.dll to steamui.new (or move it, or delete it) for safe keeping and steam generated a new one.

i found out how to fix it!!!! find the steamui.dll
Just rename it as steamul.ll
just replace the lowercase i with a lowercase L or uppercase I

What that does is it just will update the file. You can rename that whatever you want

This is legit, I had the same problem, changed steamuI.dll to steamui.dll and it worked straight away. cheers Poke 07

so for anyone trying this, I removed steamui.dll from the folder and it did not work. I put it back and renamed it and then it did work. Always make sure to keep a copy of something and not just delete it. Cheers!

This is strange. If the desired file is missing - Steam usually download it.
Thus, if the current version of the client has a problem file - when you delete this file, it will appear again. The same file, with the same problem.

However, I am happy if this way has helped you.

Hey guys you dont need to re-install. After you download the steamui.dll(I Suggest using http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dll-files.shtml?steamui because that steamui.dll download worked for me), use windows explorer to search for steamui.dll, which you just downloaded, and drag it to your desktop. After that, go to program files, and find steam. Dont click on it, just find the file. Your going to want to drag the steamui.dll file that is on your desktop and hover it over the Steam file. Let go, and boom. Steam should work fine now.

steamui.dll from different sites have different versions.
Using files from ... non-oficial steam sources may be not safety.
Use it at your own risk.

Im having this problem aswell, I am not going to download a dll file from any website, and I cant uninstall steam either...

[spacewars]

Ok, so I managed to uninstall steam, now when im trying to install it says "Close steam to continue installation"

"Close steam to continue installation"

Use task manager, or programs like "Process Explorer", "Process Hacker" (it's extended task managers) or "Unlocker" http://emptyloop.com/unlocker/#comparison

PS also need to disable steam auto-load

So before I read through all pages of this, can anyone tell me exactly what to do? It started happening after I tried to manually update my NVIDIA Drivers. I'd deleted & replaced both "steam.dll" and "steamui.dll" and reinstalled steam twice

Hey guys I recommend uninstalling steam then going to where ever you installed the steam files and removing everything to do with steam from your computer. after you have removed everything go and reinstall steam. this should remove all the old files and give you the new ones.

My friend at first had problems downloading and updating games so we decided on a fresh reinstall (for those of you wondering we moved the games in a seperate folder). This error popped up and most sollutions require you to delete the steamui.dll or a different dll file, however, he has no dll files because his steam is fresh and attemping to download the steamui.dll and putting it into the folder does not work. We have also tried editing the exe but nothing changes. I need solutions ASAP. (BTW he doesn't have the ability to delete his package folder)
